APPARATUS FOR MOISTENING AND COOLING AIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,896, dated January8, 1889.

Application filed July '7,18S8. Serial No. 279,327. (No model.)

To (6 whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HERMANN DANIEL RUDOLPH GUMTOW, of Vienna,Austria-Hungary, and MAXTMILIAN ALBERT LUTZNER, of Berlin, Germany, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Moisteningand Cooling Air, of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved apparatusfor moistenin g 'air and conducting the same into apartments;

also, cooling said ai r and ventilating the apartments.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts anddetails, as will be fully set forth hereiimt'ter, and pointed out. inthe claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l, is a vertical tImlSXGI'SGsectional vview of our improved adjustable apparatus for moistening andcooling air, the same being adjusted to subdivide the water into themost minute particles. Fi 2 is a similar view showing it adjusted toproduce coarser particles of water.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

From the center ot the pan or bowl (I the nozzle 1) projects upward,said nozzle'being connected with a suitable water-conducting pipe. Thenozzle is oi such construction as to convert the water issuing from thesame into fine spray or mist, which jet or stream of spray divergesupward and outward and by its suction draws upward a stream of air. Thecylindrical shell c is held above the nozzle 1), and at its bottom iscurved and flared outward and has its bottom edge a short distance abovethe pan or bowl a, and said shell is supported by bars a from the bowlor pan o a is a drip-pipe for the water that collects in said pan orbowl. The upper part, c, of thecylindrical shell is widened and flaredupward and outward. A curved annular plate, 0 is provided a shortdistance from the open end of the enlarged top part, c, of thecylindrical shell, so as to form an annular outletopening at the top ofsaid eyliinlrical shell, and on said curved plate c the cover f issecured. The annular curved plate surrounds the receptacle (I, thebottom c of which is bev- 5o eled outward and upward from the centertoward the rim. Said receptacle is suspended from the chain 9, passedover a pulley, 72, on the cover f. The cover fis provided with a hingeddoor or gate, 1', which can be opened when it is necessary to place iceinto the receptacle d. The spray rises in the cylindrical shell c,strikes against the beveled bottom e of the receptacle (1, is deflectedlaterally, strikes against the sides of the enlarged part c of thecylindrical shell is deflected upward and strikes against the innercurved surface of the plate c and is deflected upward and outward. Asthe spray strikes against the bottom of the receptacle (1, the enlargedpart c, and the plate c the coarser particles of water are se mratedfrom the spray and only the very fine spray or mist issues from the topopening. In case it is desired to cool the air and spray, ice can beplaced into the receptacle d. In case a still greater separation of thecoarse and tine particles of water in the spray is desired, thereceptacle (Z is lowered, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the spray comes incontact with a greater surface, and thus a greater percentage of thecoarse particles of water is separated from the spray.

By means of the above-describei'l apparatus all coarse particles ofwater can be separated from the spray to such an extent that only mistor vapor enters the compartments.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1.
